Nice quiet, hi-pressure fans, give them a try. I love them! Sidewinder has them in stock.
Sorry - anyone who uses the words "Delta" and "quiet" in the same context, especially when talking about the multi-blade fans, really doesn't understand the nature of what's trying to be achieved in terms of actual "quiet".

Let's express this yet again. By "quiet" - we're talking about getting out of bed at 3am when it's dead silent outside and in the house, everything else in the house is turned off, walking to one's computer, turning it on, and apart from the flashing lights and the monitor, not actually hearing any particular change in the noise level of the room.

On that score, Delta fans are positively thunderously loud, even when undervolted.

eander315 above is someone who is really seeking silence from their PC. His radiator box is much like mine. Every time I have guests over, they remark that they can't hear my PC, but to me it's still noticably noisy.
